PHILADELPHIA—Police are looking for three men in connection with the ambush and shooting of a pizza delivery man in Philadelphia.

Officials say the delivery man was attacked by two men around 1 a.m. Thursday in west Philadelphia as he got out of his car with the pizza in hand. A struggle ensued and the victim was shot three times.

The attackers escaped in a waiting car driven by a third man.

Police say it doesn't appear the suspects got away with anything. Detectives are checking surveillance cameras and have interviewed at least one witness.

Co-workers at Pete's Pizza in Wynnefield identified the victim as 30-year-old William Anderson.

He's in stable condition at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Police say they're waiting until his condition improves to interview him.
